It's a very dependable wine year in year out. It is Sangiovese based with a splash of Cabernet. Like most Chianti like, Sangiovese based wines, it goes better with food, preferably Italian food, than it does as a quaffer. My favorite Italian for sipping, even though it also goes wonderfully with food is the Valpolicella Vino di Ripasso which is a highbrid between journeyman Valpolicella and Amarone (possibly the best and most expensive Italian wine). All are made basically with the Corvina grape. Just love those Ripassos and you can get one for the same price you paid for the Bordeaux.
